Thanks message. Yes it’s getting organised that’s not always easy when the day is busy but it’s helped me. Keep up the good work!

Thanks advice and yes I think your probably right. I’m testing first thing in am and averaging around 5.5 mmol/l and generally test 1.5 hrs after a meal and it’s been as low as 5 but as high as 6.5 which I don’t think is abnormal. It’s early days of course but I do think the weight loss, more...

Don’t get me wrong, the willpower is required if you have a goal to loose weight and exercise more. Cutting down on alcohol is a change in lifestyle and none of these are easy. Even with willpower people do struggle with easing their conditions and to those I feel for you all. My main aim was...

Thanks that’s good advice also. When something is alien to you it’s important to get good advice and support and I have to say the NHS are doing a good job but diabetes is growing especially in youngsters and maybe schools should take it onboard for discussions as well!!!!

Well done!!!

Hi there - This is all new to me so Im not sure if you can read the reply I gave in this forum to Lucylocket. If not I will resend to you. Thanks for your support. Yes I agree some diets can suit some but not others but I think its all about what you take in that suits each person. I try to...

Today my HbA1c was down to 4.7% (4.9% mmol/L-27.9 mmol/mol) but Ive been averaging 5/5.3 Hba1c over past month or so which is well below the 42 mmol/mol required to be out of range. I find it very complicated though with so many different measurements. The first thing I did was to sign up to an...

Last Dec I was diagnosed with prediabetes which came as a massive shock to me because as a family we eat healthy food and I like to think I do enough exercise but then started to question whether I was right. My mmol/mol was 42 which was just on the borderline. My doctor recommended I join...
